Application iiled February 20, 1899. Renewed March 7, 1901. Serial No.50,268. .(No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILIO MONTANI, a subject of the King of Italy, anda resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Machine forWhipping Cream, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to devices for whipping cream, and has for itsobject to provide a simple and efficient machine of the aboveindicatedclass, and to so construct the machine that the working parts thereofmay be readily swung into and out of the receptacle containing thecream.

To this end my invention consists in certain features of constructionand arrangement of parts, as will be fully described hereinafter andspecifically pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specication, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both views.

Figure lis a side elevation of my improved machine, with parts insection; and Fig. 2 is a plan thereof.

My invention comprises, first, a novel form of beaters for whipping thecream, and, second, novel mechanism -for Operating the beaters. I

The beaters A consist of a cluster of strips or wires arranged at anglesto each other in the usual manner; but instead of being made torotateabout their own longitudinal axes a o, as in other constructions of thisclass, they are mounted to rotate about an axis b b, to 'which the axeso a are eccentric.l For this purpose the beaters may loe rigidly securedto a wheel B.

As shown in the drawings, there are two wheels B, rotatableindependently of each other-for instance, by being both loose upon anaxle C, secured to the bottom of a hanger D. Each of the wheels Bcarries two beaters A, extending in the same direction, preferably atpoints diametrically opposite each other, and to give the constructiongreater strength the wires of one beater may be made to engage those ofthe other, as illustrated. The wheels B are rotated in oppositedirections by means of a straight belt E and a 4and F3, connected by ahinge-joint F4.

crossed belt E', passing over pulleys F F2 on the outer portion F of themain shaft. This shaft, as shown, consists of two portions F The portionF3 is journaled in bearings upon the stationary frame G and carries afast pulley H'and a loose pulley H' for receiving a driving-belt in theusual manner. The outer portion F has its hearings in the hanger D,which is connected with the frame G by hinges D', alining with the hingeF4 of the main shaft. The hanger D further has arms or braces D2,arranged to engage the frame G, and thus hold the hanger vertical. A

The beaters A are adapted to whip the cream within a receptacle I, whichmay be a pail of any suitable construction and. may be provided with theusual jacket (not shown) to receive ice or other cooling agents. Thereceptacle is of sufficient dimensions to allow the hanger D, with thebeaters A, to be swung about the pivots or hinges D', out of theAreceptacle I, it being understood that during such movement the outersection F of the main shaft swings on the hinge-joint F4. By thisarrangement the contents of the receptacle can bemade very readilyaccessible and at the same time it becomes much easier to inspect andclean the beaters A. Also lthe machine is vmore readily packed fortransportation With the hanger D swung up and back.

On the shaft portion F3 is a fixed pulley H2, from which, by means of abelt J and pulley K', is driven a counter-shaft K, carrying abevel-pinion L. This pinion meshes with a bevel-toothed rim I', securedto the bottom of the receptacle I, which is mounted to turn about avertical axis M. Thus when the shaft F3 F is rotated, turning thebeater-wheels B in opposite directions, the counter-shaft K, byitspinion L, will simultaneously rotate the receptacle I, thus agitatingthe liquid more strongly.

The advantages of the above-described construction will be obviouswithout further explanation.

It will be understood that modifications of the construction hereinshown and described, as long as they remain within the scope of theappended claims, will constitute no departure from the nature of myinvention..

IOO

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by'Letters Patentl. The combination of the frame,the hangerhinged thereto, the main shaft having two portions Connected by ahinge-joint alining with the hinge of the hanger, one of the shaftportions being journaled in the hanger and the other in the frame, and abeater operated by that portion of the shaft which is journaled in thehanger.

2. The combination ofthe frame,the hanger hinged thereto, the beaterscarried by the hanger, and the main shaft having two portions Connectedby a hinge-joint alining with the hinge of the hanger, one of the shaftportions being journaled in the hanger and operatively connected withthe beaters, while the other shaft portion is journaled in the frame.

The combination of the fra1ne,the hanger hinged thereto and providedWith arms or braces adapted to engage the frame, the beaters carried bythe hanger, and the main shaft having two portions connected by ahingejoint alining with the hinge of the hanger, one of the shaftportions being journaled in the hanger and operatively connected withthe beaters, While the other shaft portion is jonrnaled in the frame.
